FARM NEWS.
Prepared Especially for Jack
son County Farmers.
We Need More Seed. .
Every citizen of Tennessee to
whom has been carried the meS'
sage of the country at this hour
when war is the paramount issue
is busy, Tennessee is going to
feed herself, is going to help
feed others, and is going to save
seed for next year's planting.
In the mad rush to sell from
the farm whatever would bring
high prices, men and women of
the State have sold the seed that
is needed for this year, Soy
beans, the red kidney beans, le
gumes of all kinds, and all other
seeds are scarce; expense is keep
ing many farmers from doing
what they would otherwise do:
they cannot afford to pay the ex
horbitant price for these seeds
May we not be found wanting
when another season rolls a
round.
But this season, every county
should rise to meet the problems
that this war brings to it We
must plant more of the crops
that furnish focnj for man, and
we must plan for seed for next
year's planting. Let the coun
ties organize to see that this is
done.
We Need More Patriotism.
Shall this be said of the Vol
unteer State that we need more
patriotism?
It is not more patriotism that
we need at this time of war, but
a safe knowledge of how to show
the patriotism we have. For
most of us the sacrifice we should
like to make is to fight at the
front But for most of us, and
particularly for those who have
land to till, the sacrifiee we are
called upon to make is at home.
We are asxed to till those lands
as we have never done before.
We are asked to make them pro
duce as they, have never produc
ed before. We are asked to
drop our course of farming, . if
that fanning does not provide
food and feed for home use, and
furnish a surplus for our fight
men. The Nation is asked to
fight not the army.
This is the sacrifice that you
can make. No matter in what
pursuit you are engaged, you
have a part to play in this great
war. If you are not a farmer,
then think well how you can help
the farmer do the thing he is
called upon to do. Join your
county in its attempt to do its
share.
We NeeJ More Fi
Into a small village of one
county a new family moved .re
cently. The lady of the home
had been in the habit of keeping
chickens. When she tried to get
six hens with which to start ' her
poultry yard she found that she
could not buy any hens of any
kind whatsoever in th'e village or
in the community around about
The poultry of the community
had been sold to high priced
markets, and not even the 'seed'
of a poultry yard was to be had.
We need more food and we
need it now. Wre cannot get it
now, but we can start now to get
it
Will you bend your energy in
your county to help the nation do
what it should to feed the world?
That's our job,
We Need More Milk.
The Knoxville milk market,
representative of the milk mar
ket in all parts of Tennessee,
presents facts that Tennesseans
can well consider.
One milk company reports 25
per cent decrease in the milK
supply from this time last year.
Could- use 300 gallons more than
is received. Paid 3Gc !er pound
for butterfat one year ago, and
is now paying 50c.
Another milk company reports
that the supply of milk has drop
ped off two-thirds from that a
year ago. (Jouid sell 6W gallons
more perday than it is receiving.
Butterfat has increased in price
from 40c a year ago to 50c now.
One cream company reports
the milk supply one-third short
of last year. Could use 50 per
cent more. One-third of its pat
rons of last year are out of busi
ness.
Another cream company re
ports that the supply of cream is
two-thirds short of last year;
that it buys five-sixths of its
cream from Cincinnati.
Caught Napping That's All.
Other nations might go to war,
we said, but not the U. S. A.
We thought we would be wise
and sell our products at the high
prices; we are willing to sell even
the seed we had planned to use
this year. There would bo plen
ty of seed, we said, for things
were going to go along about as
usual, no matter what the rest of
the world did.
That's what we said.
But in justice to humanity the
United States had to join the
rest of the world in the war.
And now what do we say?
It doesn't matter what we may
say, the fact is that our disposi
tion to sell got the better of us,
and that we shall have to scheme
and work and co-operate one
with the other in every way that
we can to bring this nation to
bring this nation to the point
where she is really a fighting
nation.
Only a well fed nation is
fighting nation.

"Be it resolved by the direc

in the death of R. V. Brooks,
president of said bank, which oc
curred on April, 20, 1917, at his
home in Riddleton, Tenn., the
bank has lost one of its ablest
officers and financiers; the peo
ple of Jackson County, where he
was raised, lived and transacted
most of his business, one of its
noblest citizens, although tem
porarily residing out of our coun
ty, we still claimed him as one
of our fellow citizens.
"Mr. Brooks was 74 years and
4 months old, and since early
man-hood has ever been ready to
help the poor, if honorable, and
his financial assistance can be re
called by every business man of
our county, and hundreds if not
thousands, of farmers can point
with pride to his assistance and
advice. His death will be deeply
deplored by all, and by this bank
in which he has been an officer
for years, and a stock-holder
since its organization.
"Deploring his death we have
met and submit these resolutions
as a mark of respect to his mem
ory and our deep regret at his
death, and tender to his devoted
widow and children our deepest

bright and happy, -soon made her

J. B. BAKER, County Agent
in her own words;
"About six weeks ago I left
my home'on our farm near Ac
worth, Ga., to come to my sisters
home here in Atlanta, and I lett
with only a shadow of hope of
ever returning alive to my home
and husband.
"I left Acworth," she continu
ed, "in a comfortable automobile
propped up on pillows, coming
through the country. I had al
most medicine as I had baggage
a big box full of all kinds of
medicines that had been pre.
Bcribed for me. I reached here
very weak and exhausted and
with scarcely enough strength
to walk to the door. This trou
ble, from which I had suffered so
long, had reduced me to almost
a shadow, as I only weighed GO
pounds.
"My brother-in law, Mr. Battle
said, 'Well you have tried every
thing else with no relief, now I
want you to lay aside your "drug
shop" and take Tanlac. Of
course I was willing to try it, for
the medicine was the talK of the
whole country. Well, he got it
for me and I started on my first
bottle that day.
"When I had taken about half
of the first bottle I began to feel
stronger and encouraged. I con
tinued to take it and it is noth
ing short of marvelous how I im
proved day by day. I felt my
self further and further from the
grave. My appetite returned
and my food seemed to nourish
me and agree with me- My skin
and complexion began clearing
up and I improved in every way
possible until I am now a well
woman, and when I say well, I
mean absolutely what I say. I
want to tell the whole world that
I think God and Tanlac
'I weigh 95 pounds now' and
feel as well as I ever felt in my
life; I am going back to my hus
bund and home on the little farm
five miles from Acworth tomor
row, and won't it be a joyful
meeting, returning to my hus
band and home absolutely well
land happy and won't I tell
everybody about what Tanlac
has done for me?"
'Yes, it's just like she says,"
chimed in Mr. Battle about this
time. "Tanlac has simply rob
bed the grave, and' if you could
have seen her when she started
on this medicine, you would say
the same thing.
"I didn't know at the time
just what her trouble was, but
the doctors said she had pellegra.
She may have had it, for all I
know, but there is one thing cer
tain, she hasn't got it now, or at
least you wouldn't think so if you
could watch her eat I told her
jokingly, the other day, that she
wis eating me out of house and
home. I don't guess there was
i ever a case like hers, and there
is one thing certain, you can
count on us telling everybody a
boot it, because I fully believe
she owes her life to this medi
cine." L I lSCX GiiaesW i, Tern.
